024: You know you’re ugly, but you still show off?

Nan Li had no idea of ​​Qingxu's plan.

The queen's birthday banquet is approaching, and Mrs. Shen wants to take her into the palace, taking the opportunity to let everyone know that she has been found and what etiquette she has been learning these days.

Nan Li is smart and can figure it out at a glance, so Shen doesn't have to worry about it at all.

On the day of the birthday banquet, she was pulled up early and allowed her grandma, Yuan Bao and the others to dress her up.

As before, she was wearing a gold embroidered skirt, a small gold crown, and a pair of green bracelets with excellent water quality on her wrists. At this moment, she understood why those ladies from the official family had to be supported when they went in and out.

She has a good body and is not tired when she is dressed. However, she is very careful when walking and sitting, otherwise she will appear too rude and rude. This makes her unable to move her legs or open her hands, and it is quite uncomfortable just to stand.

Chu Hanlin and Shen brought Nan Li into the palace alone.

The carriage stopped at the side palace gate, and after passing the post for inspection, you could enter the palace.

Since ancient times, the imperial palace has been like a battlefield. Some palace residents died quietly, and it is unknown how many innocent souls have gathered. Therefore, Nan Li felt a little chilly along the way.

But this is the palace, she is here to attend the birthday banquet today, this is not her business.

She has survived in the apocalypse and has already understood what power is.

Once she makes a mistake in the palace, it will affect the whole family, so she must be cautious.

Today is a banquet at Qianlong Hall.

There is still half an hour before the banquet starts, and many people have already arrived in the hall.

Chu Hanlin and his wife and their daughter greeted each other one by one. Many people had a bit of contempt in their eyes, but a few people expressed their sincere congratulations and were kind to Nan Li.

Nan Li wrote down these people, and if they needed it in the future, he could give them a discount.

The banquet was about to begin, and the emperor and empress arrived, followed by Emperor Mu Wu's compatriot sister, Princess Huiping.

Everyone knelt down and saluted.

Emperor Muwu was the eldest son of the late emperor and was nearly forty years old.

Since the death of the late emperor two years ago, he has stayed up day and night to review memorials and discuss state affairs with important ministers, but he shows signs of fatigue.

Queen Xie is dressed up in a fancy dress, somewhat similar to the Marquis of Zhenbei.

But when Nan Li saw her eyes, she knew that the queen was actually ill.

She forced herself to attend her birthday banquet, obviously to reassure the officials.

Emperor Mu Wu smiled and asked everyone to stand up. Everyone took the opportunity to congratulate Queen Xie on her birthday, and then sat down one after another.

The banquet had just begun, and the palace maids were serving dishes like a fish, when a message came from outside: "Prince Yu is here!"

It’s the Nine Prince Yesi Heng.

Emperor Mu Wu and Queen Xie were filled with joy and hurriedly asked the palace officials to prepare their seats.

Ever since Ye Siheng injured his leg and was unable to walk, he rarely attended palace banquets. When he came today, Queen Xie's smile was a little deeper and she was in high spirits.

It was still Qingfeng who pushed Yesi Heng into the palace.

He wore a black brocade robe with a gold crown and jade belt. The brocade robe was inlaid with gorgeous gold rims. The needlework and thread were meticulous, and the python and dragon patterns on it were embroidered lifelike.

He had a handsome face and impeccable contours, which immediately attracted the attention of many people.

Even though he can't walk, he still shows his innate dignity, making people feel that he is spotless and unattainable.

Ye Siheng glanced around and quickly found Nan Li's figure.

She put on a little makeup and looked pretty and charming. It took him a long time to look away.

"See the emperor's brother and the emperor's sister-in-law." Ye Siheng's voice was clear and clear.

"No need to be polite." Emperor Mu Wu smiled broadly and ordered Qingfeng to push Yesi Heng to his seat.

This is his youngest brother and the most capable brother.

Last night, when Si Heng's feet were strong, the northern border was unbreakable.

Half a year ago, when the enemy saw that Ye Siheng could not walk with his legs, they gathered their troops to attack in order to avenge their previous humiliation.

But even if Ye Siheng couldn't go to the battlefield in person, he still used his troops like a god, making it impossible for the enemy soldiers to come back!

Emperor Muwu was very happy because Yesi Heng could no longer be sealed, so he finally exempted Yesi Heng from kneeling down and rewarded him with a mansion and a lot of gold, silver and jewelry.

It can be said that Yesi Heng was inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people in the Mu Kingdom.

Only he could sit next to Emperor Mu Wu.

This kind of honor cannot even be matched by the current prince.

After drinking for three rounds, Queen Xie remembered that Madam Marquis Anyang had brought her daughter into the palace today.

Her brother came to the palace a few days ago and said that the sixth lady was of good character and capable, and had saved her nephew, so she wanted to see her in person.

"I heard that Marquis Anyang's long-lost daughter has finally been found, so congratulations." Empress Xie said with a smile.

Chu Hanlin immediately stood up with his wife and daughter to thank him, "With the blessing of the emperor and the queen, I and my wife can recognize each other and meet my daughter."

Everyone had met Nan Li just now, and now they were impressed by how well-behaved she was in thanking her without any stage fright or cowardice.

Princess Huiping said: "As expected, she looks pretty and pretty, and she looks a bit like Mrs. Hou. I just don't know if her piano skills are as outstanding as Mrs. Hou's. Why don't you play a piece of music to wish the queen a birthday and express your feelings?"

Bar."

Mrs. Shen looked embarrassed.

Her daughter doesn't like these, and she never wants to force her to learn them.

But Princess Huiping opened her mouth. If she refused, it would be disrespectful to the queen.

A girl stood up opposite, it was Lu Yanyan, the legitimate daughter of the prime minister's family.

She said: "I heard that the Sixth Miss grew up in the countryside before. She came back not long ago, so she probably doesn't know how to do it. Princess, why don't you let me show my shame."

Many of them covered their mouths and chuckled, and looked at Nan Li with a bit more contempt.

Princess Huiping raised her eyebrows, "In that case..."

"You know you're ugly, and you still want to show off?" The cold Ye Siheng suddenly spoke, with a stern look in his eyes.

Lu Yanyan's face was stiff and her eyes turned red instantly.

The Prime Minister felt sorry for his daughter and couldn't help but say: "Why is the Ninth Prince so aggressive? My daughter is just rescuing Miss Sixth."

"Whether it's to save the siege or to humiliate, I thought, everyone present can hear it," Ye Siheng said.

Princess Huiping glanced at him and said, "Ninth brother, Miss Lu is telling the truth. Why are you so aggressive?"

Lu Yanyan has admired Yesi Heng for a long time. She does not think that he is defending the sixth lady, but simply wants to embarrass Lu Yanyan.

She was staring at Nan Li, and her voice was a little harsh: "Miss Sixth, your mother is an excellent piano player, you must follow her and learn from her."

Nan Li thought to herself that being an official lady is really troublesome.

She doesn't want to follow the crowd and be a well-educated woman who washes her hands and makes soup for her husband, so she might as well set up a good character for herself today.

"The Empress Dowager Chengde is very good at swordsmanship and once saved Emperor Taizu from danger. This shows that women do not necessarily have to learn chess, calligraphy and painting." Nan Li walked out slowly, "I wonder if Mr. Lu would like to learn from me?

Let’s celebrate the queen’s birthday.”

Before Lu Zheng could answer, Lu Yanyan said: "With you? You look so weak. Can you survive three moves in front of my brother?"

Lu Zheng was well-known in Beijing for his talent in literature and martial arts.
